Although i have rarely contributed to this group over the last ten years or

to call it a day.

Sadly now its seems to have become a place for a number of folks with egos
larger than your average tropical CB to rip the crap out of anyone that they
see fit and mostly for no apparent reason.

I thought the group was uk.sci.weather so perhaps some have confused it for
uk.sci.******s ?

Thanks to all those who have posted constructive and infiormative stuff over
the years, Bernard Burton, Will Hand, Southend Keith, Colin Youngs, Darren
Presscott to name just a few, it was a pleasure being part of it all.but
lifes to short for all the crap on here so now is the time for me to leave.

Have fun and i hope you get your dream winter Will !

Hi Robbie,
To be honest I agree with you. I have a young daughter and during
spells of exciting weather I used to show her the posts to get some
idea of the excitment of a weather "event". Sadly there is so much bad
language and vitriol that there is no way I can just let her browse
the posts. You are right that this group used to have something to do
with weather and science. I would be genuinely intimidated to give
away my full name and address as some of the language used is far
beyond what is acceptable.
So see ya and take care.
